Assassin’s Approach

Assassin’s Approach silences your footsteps and protects you from non-lethal fall damage for 30 seconds. You can cast it while moving or crouching.

It needs only 10 Faith and is a utility spell for stealthy play and for dropping down tricky ledges.

Where to find it

The Confessor starts with it. Otherwise give the Assassin’s Prayerbook to Brother Corhyn or Miriel, Pastor of Vows and buy it for 2,000 Runes. If that tutor dies, the Twin Maiden Husks sell it once given their Bell Bearing. If both die before you hand over the book, it is lost until your next journey.

Item description & lore

A prayer of the Two Fingers‘ servants who acted as assassins for the Roundtable Hold, hunting Tarnished who had strayed from guidance.

Notes & tips

  • It does not save you from falls that are high enough to kill outright.
  • It overrides, and is overridden by, Soft Cotton, which does a similar job without FP but for a shorter time.
